strong, equitable, and sustainable through effective

Dear Friends,

It is with great pride that we share our 2019 Annual Data & Impact Report This was a pivotal year for Living Classrooms, an inflection point

to position us for an even stronger and brighter future

We are grateful to all of our supporters for stepping up with us to build new momentum and invest in the talent and resources needed to positively transform the lives of underserved children, youth, and adults

in both Baltimore and Washington D.C

MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT & CEO

In order to help transform historically

underserved and marginalized communities,

we recognize that we cannot have a

singular focus - but rather an ecosystem of

programs and services working together.

As a result, Living Classrooms has

intentionally incubated, cultivated, and

grown programs in four priority areas.

These areas are:

Violence Prevention

In recent years, non-profit organizations' have been asked to "show more impact" by donors.

However, the concept of impact is often a value-judgement and there is not a universal agreed

upon metric or method to measure or articulate an organizations' unique societal contributions

or "impact" As a result, Living Classrooms takes an evidence-based and research centric

approach in designing and developing programs that maximize our impact to our targeted

audience For example, in Education, we often cite the following metrics to measure and

articulate our impact: # of people served, # of student days, and program attendance rates as

our key metrics of success

Why? Because each metric represents much more than what the indicators exemplify For

instance, each "student day" or interaction with a program participant represents a student

receiving: (1) a warm nutritious meal, (2) group or individualized homework support, (3)

extra-curricular activities such as music, art, and physical education, (4) mentoring from a caring adult

1 After-school programs have gained national attention as a means to provide additionalacademic, social, and recreational opportunities for youth Poor, inner-city communities areespecially in need of these programs because urban youth often lack the safe parks, sportsteams, clubs, and other enriching opportunities that are typically offered in middle-income andaffluent communities As a result, Living Classrooms provides fitness programs and sportsleagues to its constituents

Over the last ten years, the gap in swimming participation between Whites and

other minority groups has been well documented Moreover, the intrapersonal,

interpersonal, and structural constraints to swimming participation by African

Americans have been clearly delineated With the challenges surrounding the

minority swimming gap acknowledged, Living Classrooms created a best-in-class swimprogram in partnership with the Michael Phelps Foundation
